As a gamer and a student I can't play every game of the shelves of my local game store. I always have to choose wisely and pick one great game over the other. I will be surely getting a next-gen console at launch but before that I really want to make sure I miss no great experiences on the current gen of consoles.

Playstation All Stars exited me from the moment it was announced. I always wanted to have some of my favorite characters battle it all out for full bragging rights! This could never be done before now, but Playstation All Stars has come to please Playstation gamers of all types.

Playstation All Stars is it's completely own game and there is no experience like it on the market. Yes, you could compare it to the wildly popular Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but they are two completely different games. The style of play is completely different between the two games. All Stars is an all out offense and Super Smash is way more strategic. They are both great games, and what makes them great is completely different.

The gameplay of Playstation All Stars is fast paced and energetic. It is exiting to see Cole pull out his amp and throw someone across the map. Or to see Nathan Drake hide behind a wall and blindefire his legendary AK-47. Moments like these in a game make you feel great and give you flashbacks of some of your favorite moments.

The maps in All Stars have great disigns and constantly change. For example, a map called Dreamscape (based off Little Big Planet) starts completely blank and slowly starts building platforms. After a minute or two the map looks like a Little Big Planet level. Then before you know it Buzz comes in. He asks you a question and if you get it wrong you get a pie thrown at your face. THis is all in a short 3 minute game, and the game contains lots of maps so you will never get bored.

This game can be purchased on two different platforms, the PS3 and the PS Vita. The game is completely the same on both platforms and you can get them for a great deal too. This is called Cross Buy. If you buy the PS3 version of the game, you get the downloadable Vita version for free. This gives you a $100 deal for $60!

In conclusion this is a great and exiting game that is worth your time, but it is not without flaws.

The Playstation Vita has brought the best mobile gaming experience to date. Many people may call the Vita a disappointment but I would have to disagree. There are still great games that every Vita owner should have and some others that may have been underrated. This is why this top ten list is here, and I hope you enjoy.

10: Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3

Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom showed what a fighter could be on a handheld system. It had fluency, great moves, and innovative gameplay. It may not be the best vita game but it deserves it's place on the top ten list.

9: Little Big Planet PS Vita

Little Big Planet for PS Vita revolutionized the way to play Little Big Planet. It is almost like this game was meant for this platform. It is also one of the few Vita games that uses the Vita's functionalities in the right way. From the front touch to the back touch, the features were used perfectly. It is a great platformer and it is worth your time.

8: Assassins Creed 3: Liberation

Assassins Creed 3: Liberation brought a console experience to portable systems. Many other games have tried this and failed terribly. Unlike Resistance Vita and Call of Duty Vita it holds back in basically no ways. It gives you a full campaign and full Vita functionality. The only thing that it doesn't include is Assassins Creed multiplayer, which is tense and exiting! This would have worked perfectly on the Vita and it is to bad it is not included. Even with this setback, it is still an amazing game!

7: Need For Speed: Most Wanted

Most wanted put a console game in your hands. No setbacks, no tricks, and no disappointments. The only difference was the traffic levels which were brought down a little to make the game work. Otherwise from this, you get a full console experience in your hands.

6: Wipeout 2048

Wipeout combined amazing graphics and courses with fast paced racing. This game just worked perfectly with very few flaws. The detail in all of the courses amazed me, and the game just worked because speeding through the levels are always a blast.

5: Unit 13

Unit 13 was a 3rd person shooter that really surprised me. It contained 36 missions and a handful of high value target missions. There was no story, but that didn't matter because it was the perfect mobile gaming experience. It was challenging and exiting which made the action tense and completing a mission feel great!

4: Gravity Rush

Gravity Rush was an experience only possible on a PS Vita. From flying through the skies to walking down the streets, it always looked and felt amazing. Flying is not often done right in video games, but Gravity Rush captured it perfectly. This it why it is in my top ten.

3: Playstation All Stars Battle Royale

Playstaton All Stars Battle Royale is fun entertaining and great to play with your friends. It has multiplayer that excites and addicts gamers. It also contains many other modes which will keep you busy and wanting to play more.

2: Sound Shapes

Sound Shapes is an entertaining platformer that works great on the Vita. It is challenging and fun, and for surely worth your money. The champaign is a blast and the death mode levels will keep you going for a long time.

1: Uncharted: Golden Abyss

Uncharted Golden Abyss delivered everything a gamer wants, a console experience on the go. This game captured this perfectly. The story was great and the controls were good. It is my favorite vita game and continues to excite me every time I play it.

Make sure to leave your comments in the section bellow about which games were your favorites! Also if you agree or disagree with my picks.

In 2012, so many amzing games have been released. iOS is no shortcoming to this statement considering all the good and exiting games that have come to iOS. From Angry Birds to The Walking Dead, iOS has it all. I hope you enjoy The Top Ten Games of 2012

10: Borderlands Legends

Borderlands Legends was a new look at the Borderlands series. Legends is more of an RTS than a 1st person shooter. For a mobile platform this is a great game and it still has the borderlands charm. This is all the weapons and the loot.

9: Trigger Fist

Trigger Fist was a simple and fun game. It did not have the best graphics or gameplay but I enjoyed it a lot. Every time I played it I wanted to play just one more match. It was also perfectly mobile with its online and offline modes. This is a great cheap game everyone should get their hands on!

8: Asphalt 7: Heat

Asphalt 7 took off from it's predecessor and improved off of it in mays ways. The controls felt better than ever and the graphics were the best I have seen in a mobile racing game. It is also only $ 0.99 which makes it even better. This is the definitive racing experience and has potential to be great!

7: NOVA 3

Nova 3 was explosively exiting! From it's campaign to it's fast paced multiplayer, it is an amazing ride all the way! It has a 6.99 price tag but is still worth your money.

6: Bad Piggies

Bad Piggies took a new take on Rovio's Angry Birds and in a way this is a better game than Angry Birds ever was. It takes you into the pigs perspectives and makes you use more strategy and problem solving to complete the levels. This exiting game will keep you busy for a while and it also packs tons of replay ability when going for 3 stars!

5: Shadowgun

Shadowgun was a console quality game on the go. It takes a lot of it's gameplay mechanics from Gears of War and this is one of the reasons it is so great. My only complaint is the lack of multiplayer, but this has been fixed. Madfinger has made a new free to play game called Shadowgun: Deadzone and it is a full fledged multiplayer experience. Both are worth your time and money. This is the reason for this being n this list.

4: Jetpack Joyride

Jetpack Joyride is a great game to play in short periods of time or even long gaming sessions. This is because of the games system, and it works well. There is a very deep and rewarding perk and upgrade system. Also the map alway changes so you will never get to bored of the same thing.

3: Angry Birds: Star Wars

Angry Birds: Star Wars really shined and showed that Rovio wasn't out of ideas. It is a major improvement over other Angry Birds games, but still keeps the basic mechanics the series is known for. This is the type of game you think of when you say mobile gaming, and there is good reason for this!

2: The Walking Dead: The Game

The Walking Dead blows other games out of the park. With it's strong story and attention to detail. It also runs very well for being a console port and in some ways it is better than it's bigger console brother. The choose your own story gameplay works and is completely worth playing over and over again.

1: Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour

Modern Combat 4 is the definitive iOS experience! It has the best multiplayer on a mobile device and also delivers an explosive campaign! It also has fully customizable controls to fit everyone's personal preferences. There is no better iOS experience than this!

This concludes my top ten list. I hope you enjoyed and agreed with my top ten. Even if you didn't agree with me, I would love to hear your personal preference on the top games in the comments below!
